Meteors over Oxford today?

Just heard the sound of four axial-flow jets right over the house this afternoon and caught the splendid sight of what had to be two Meteors in close formation heading west in the direction of BEagle's Secret Oxfordshire Airbase. Kemble? Boscombe Down?

Too late to see any markings, although thought I saw a glimpse of red. Gone all too soon!

My initial thought was that they were from MB at Chalgrove, but that's closed now....

Brightened up a difficult afternoon, anyway.
